I am getting to know the male Hummingbird.
He comes to the Hummingbird feeding station
off and on all day.
She is still a little skittish.
He is bold.

GORGEOUS photos! How wonderful to have hummingbirds visiting throughout the day. We have had 2 feeders filled with nectar for a while now ~ I hope they find our garden soon.
What a handsome couple. I hope they nest in your garden too. What great pictures you could get.
He looks like he needs a napkin in the first photo. I little left over blossom on his bill.
Aren't they sweet? I absolutely love them. And you describe them to a T. The male is bold and the female skitterish. Our rest on my clothesline and then come to the feeder.
I once found a nest in the hedge, but it was in the fall. I am not sure, but it was so tiny, I think it might have been a hummer's.
Flying jewels - aren't they?
Dear Deb,
Thanks I was pleased with these pictures. He is a handsome little guy! I hope the Hummers find you soon too. There was a few here in early May and than a week went by with out a trace of them. Now I have been seeing two males and no females. It seems to be a strange Hummingbird year!

Dear Lisa,
Mr. Hummer does appear to have a bit of blossom on his bill!
I do love the Hummingbirds!
Sherry
Dear Wendy,
They are flying jewels! So sweet too. I love their little chatter.
I bet you did find a Hummers nest.
I have never seen a nest in person. After thiry years of feeding them I think it is time for them to nest in my gardens!
LOL

I always love seeing the hummingbirds up close like this! Bravo
These photos are such a treat! How beautiful.
I was mourning the fact that the Indian Mynah birds have frightened away all the lovely little native birds that used to come to visit our Grevilleas. I miss them so.
Hi Tom,
I was thinking the other day aboput the video you made last year of all the Hummers at your feeder! I have seen two males and one female. There are five or six neighbors that feed the Hummingbirds plus lots of flowers. I would think the Hummingbird population would increase around here but it seems to stay about the same year to year.
I too enjoy the up close pictures.

Dear Meggie,
I tell my little birds all the time to "buck up and be aggressive". Not sure they listen to me!
Always sad when non-natives take over, plants, bugs and birds! (oh, it also happened with people in my country!)
Sherry
I just LOOOVE hummingbirds!!!
Dear Mel,
You saw some amazing ones! We have Ruby Throated. I do love them too.
Sherry
